Jensen kept one eye out for Calvin until he was joined at the couch. When Calvin decided to open up, Jensen devoted the completeness of his focus to listening.
The name of Star Gazer immediately inspired the image of a man pondering his own future. Jensen related. He also knew what it was to be a failure in the eyes of those you loved most, but he didn't voice that answer. Calvin had asked rhetorically as a means to demonstrate his own conflicts.
The story quickly became a reflection of Jensen's own life: down to the gaping hole in their souls. "You're not doing what you're meant to do. That's where peace lies, in purpose and service."
Knocking drew his eyes toward the door. His heart fluttered, immediately picturing John on the other side. But this was his property, he had no need to knock. Who then?
"Excuse me."
The building's system gave him a digital glance through a virtual peephole.
Even as a boy, Jensen had a sweet talent for placing people. He'd never call it as such, rather, he delivered his full attention to someone when speaking with them. Whether acting as a confidant or simply chatting, Jensen took joy in the fact that other people shared their lives with him.
Thus, he recognized Giovanni. He was smiling at the change in the man's appearance when he opened the door. "Giovanni? A pleasure!"
The moment he offered to shake hands, he remembered that he was still wearing only his bike pants and undershirt.
